5 SECONDS RULE game - no preparation needed.

Hands up                             🙋🙋🙋
if you know how to play     5 seconds rule game.

If you're not familiar with the rules, here they go for you:

You're given a topic.
Counting starts.
You have 5 seconds 
to give 3 things that fit the topic.

Seems easy, huh?
Check it yourself to find out how funny or confusing it may be. 😅😅😅

To adapt the game to the classroom environment,
get your students to stand in a circle,
ask one of them to be the time-controller,
start the game by giving an example
(you can also specify the range of topics they should focus on,
e.g. only vocabulary - or grammar-related ones),
the student next to you names 3 things that fit the category,
if (s)he makes it in 5 seconds, (s)he is the one to think of a new topic,
if (s)he doesn't make it in 5 seconds, (s)he either drops out or stands "at the end of the circle line"
(or you can choose to ignore that and let the fun continue).

A few classroom examples for you:
- Name 3 adjectives ending with -ing.
- Name 3 adjectives starting with "a".
- Name 3 irregular verbs in Past Simple.
- Name 3 clothes items.
- Name 3 things that are always yellow.
- Name 3 cities in Australia.
- Give 3 words that rhyme with "fly".

GRAMMAR PRACTICE with CHINESE WHISPERS

A very simple but bringing lots of fun way to consolidate any grammar structure.

Afer all ado about form and use
(if you have that habit)
you can serve your
smart alecs a
game of
...
CHINESE WHISPERS.

Just prepare slips with sentences containing the grammar on the classroom menu ;)
and to make everything straight,
you can write a number next to a sentence on the slip
and the translation of the sentence with the corresponding number on your whiteboard.

Then, off you go with the whole lotta fun!

You can prepare sets of the same sentences for each team and make it a competition  
OR
just choose a sentence for the whole group and wait for the final version of the original sentences
OR
( ... space for your invention ... ).

When it comes to the choice of the sentences, choose the most useful / common ones
OR
use the ones that appeared in the coursebook or worksheets during the lesson.
Help them recycle the material as much as possible.
To give you the idea...
for the verb TO BE, the sentences may be:

1. I'm terribly sorry.
2. Don't be mad at me.
3. How are things?
4. Are you alright?
5. She's from Olsztyn.


Enjoy engo-lingo!
